VBay! Transform your vbulletin into an auctionhouse!

[forumrunt]

Yeah im currently looking into this because i want to use this on my own website as well :)
Im going to need to integrate it with paypal api.

Would this apply to paypal? or cash as well?

Either one I suppose most of my members all use paypal. Just seems like a great alternative. I was going to make a membergroup and have a paid subscription but I cant figure out a fair price

[DieselMinded]

Ok I added the code above over top my old vbay link then edited the phrase $vbphrase from vbay to the name of my new one ...

So it appears to be working w/o the enable link in nav bar turned on

[DieselMinded]

Blaine Its FLAWLESS THANK YOU !!!!!!!

[DieselMinded]

I dont see much change with the myvbay area , I started a test auction should this be in there ?

Also where do the users edit there auctions ?

There was only 1 template i had to revert

[StreetTriple]

hi Blain!!! PLEASE.... CAN YOU POST ONLY MODIFIED FILE FOR UPGRADE? i've translate all the file in italian lenguage and all the time i do re-translate..... if you can upgrade only the file that you modified i can upgrade the script without re-translate the lenguage...!!!
Scusme for my imperfect english!!!
Thanks!
Sandro

[Revpolar]

I cant set my usergroups. It only allows me to use one number in the field. It is supposed to be like 2,5,6,7,8 right?

[DieselMinded]

You can only allow 1 user group to sell

[Revpolar]

Ohhh ok

I think it would be better if we could allow more than one.

[DieselMinded]

I made my Paid Members the Sellers and i added Sponsors to the Paid members As there secondary user group so sponsors could use it ,,

All members can bid and win tho

The newer versions use phrases, so if you have the phrases translated they shouldnt be overwritten when you upgrade.

[StreetTriple]

there aren't phrases for Vbay product in my ACP-->Leanguage&Phrases-->Manage Phrases......
i've installed 1.1.4 version for Vbay....

[Blaine0002]

search in phrases for vbay in title name

[inciarco]

Hello!! Great Hack!! :up:

A Little Bug I Found: When Creating a New Sell, the "Description" is being Cut to No More Than 5 Lines, and Perhaps a Determinate Number of Characters. :(

I created an Auction, with Great Formatted Text in It, with IMG Tags Included, and when I Previewed it, it Only Had 5 Lines, so I lost My Effort in Creating a Long Description. :(

Also this Hack Don't Allows Edits of the Sells (Auctions), so I wasn't Able to Change the Description. You Should Leave an Option for Us Owners of the Forum to Edit the Sells and also an Option to Allow or Not Allow (We Should be Able to Decide) the Edits of the Sells (Auctions) by the Persons Who Created them. I'd choose to be Able to Edit My Auctions, not to have to Delete Them and Create New Ones in case of an Error Like the Trim of the Description I previously described. :(

One more thing: In the Closed Auctions option, you should add a Column or Include in the Link of the Name of the Category the Number of Closed Auctions; when I first visited that Link I thought that NO Auctions where Saved when Closed, so is Good for the Users to Know How Many Auctions are in Each Category, like in Home VBay where You Display the Number of Curren Opened Auctions. :(

My Best Regards. Great Hack. I Hope You Make the Adjustments I've Told You in this Message to Make Your hack More Flexible, and Allow Us To Decide How We'd Like To Use it. ;)

:)

[Blaine0002]

Thanks for the information..

in version 1.1.5 you should be able to go into My Vbay, click on My Auctions and then click on edit to edit the auction.

The description bug you mentioned is odd. ill look into it.

[powerful_rogue]

Hi, Im looking to convert from SR CLassfieds Lite to this as I notice it also has a BIN feature :)

Does anyone know of a CMPS module so I can display a random auction?

[DieselMinded]

Thanks for the information..

in version 1.1.5 you should be able to go into My Vbay, click on My Auctions and then click on edit to edit the auction.

The description bug you mentioned is odd. ill look into it.

I have version 1.1.5 Blaine and i dont have My Auctions in My Vbay , The My Vbay changed but i dont have that

[Blaine0002]

Remember to revert your templates :)

[Hengest]

Finally installed! Many thanks for this and all the work you have put into it.

:up:

[DieselMinded]

I Didnt have no templates to revert other than the nav bar

[towermatt]

Upgrade went fine, the thing looks great.

I am wondering if there is a way to change the imbedded nav bar link on the for forumdisplay.

Its the only thing I can't figure out how to change to DTbay. :D

[Blaine0002]

there should be a phrase called something like vbay_navbar_vbay

or something

[towermatt]

Hmmm...looks like I found all of those and changed them.

vbay_ navbar
vbay_ navbar_ home
vbay_ navbar_ myvbay

Its not a huge deal though, just the icing on the cake. My forum is called Palaver so it links back to that on the home page but it marks its own link (indented up there) as Vbay.

[hyproVision]

Hey Blaine, would like to say you've got a great hack going here!

I've seemed to run into a problem though :( I get a "Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /vbay.php on line 205" error on the sell page. Any word of advice?

Thanks.

[Blaine0002]

odd... what version of php are you using?

its working for me and everyone else o.o

[pscyhosis]

I have the same error msg.
Please help.

[Blaine0002]

Ok i have php5 so this could very much be the problem, i might have a solution, could one of you who is recieveing this error contact me thru aim or msn?

Same problems here :confused:

Running it on a fresh vBulletin 3.6.8 installation with MySQL version 5.0.41 and PHP version 4.4.4 and no other hacks than Vbay.

You need to enter contact details in the text box above the bid button. Some people on my forum had the same problem and assumed that they did not need to enter anything because their address was showing up in My Vbay.

[Hengest]

Why is it that the "high bid" and "lowest you may bid" are the same? Surely the lowest you may bid should be higher than the current highest bid??


The High Bid Is: $25.00
The Lowest You May Bid Is: $25

[Blaine0002]

The user probably entered 0 as a bid increment,

Thanks for pointing that out, ill need to make it so the bid increment is at least 1.

[bki]

You need to enter contact details in the text box above the bid button. Some people on my forum had the same problem and assumed that they did not need to enter anything because their address was showing up in My Vbay.Thanks, now it works. :D

but, Blaine0002 could that be changed. If you bid more than once on the same item, you need to enter the contact information every time you bid. :confused:

[towermatt]

I just put a smiley face in it. Our members know the contact for the transactions completion can be done through PM or similar methods.

But it would be great if it didn't ask for it.

you probably reinstalled it.

you will need to go into the phpmyadmin and delete all tables that have the prefix vbay_ and go into the user table and delete the row vbayaddress

If you do not want to loose information tell me and ill find out another way to do it.

[Blaine0002]

By the way, ive been looking for a way to split payments via paypal and have found that it is currently not possible.

How do you guys suggest this work?

[micheal332001]

Hi blaine0002

You was looking for a way to find out the diffarence from 2 dates to show how many days left on your arction. well try this out

function daysDiff($y1, $m1, $d1) {
$y2 = date("Y");
$m2 = date("m");
$d2 = date("d");

if (mktime(0,0,0,$m1,$d1,$y1) - mktime(0,0,0,date("m"),date("d"),date("Y"))<0) {
$diff = "expiried";
} else {
$y = $y1 - $y2;
$m = $m1 - $m2;
$d = $d1 - $d2;
$daysInMonth = date("t",$m1);
if ($d<0) {$m--;$d=$d+$daysInMonth;}
if ($m<0) {$y--;$m=$m+12;}

if ($y>0) $diff .= $y==1 ? "1 year " : "$y years ";
if ($m>0) $diff .= $m==1? "1 month and " : "$m months and ";
if ($d>0) $diff .= $d==1 ? "1 day " : "$d days ";
$diff .= " remaining";
}
return $diff;
}
print "<br>";
print daysDiff(2007,12,25);

Or you could try this out

$today1 = strtotime ('now');
$today=date("d.m.Y",$today1);
$f_date1 = mktime(0,0,0,12,24,2007);
$f_date=date("d.m.Y",$f_date1);
$difference = intval(($f_date1 - $today1)/86400+1);

//output

echo"Today is : $today<br>";
echo"Your date : $f_date<br>";
echo"Days To Go Before Christmas : $difference";

Hope this helps you out

[Blaine0002]

Hehe i found that out a LONG time ago
But thanks for helping :D


Good to see you again though, havent seen you in a long time.

The next version will probably be a bugfix version.
The version after im thinking will include itrader integration and more features and MIGHT be commercial if i can get the correct resources together.

If you dont have any categories the foreach dosent know what to handle so it errors out, just make a category and your good to go;.

Is it possible to change the address form to something like "Email Address" "Paypal" etc...?

EDIT: Actually is it possible to completely disable/remove the address form?

Hello to all,
I have the installed Vbay and it works very well, I have translated everything into Spanish, but it is necessary to me to translate some words:

* Domestic
* worldwide

Where I have to translate them?

You will need to search in your product-bay.xml for this..

and do a re-import with Allow Overwrite enabled.
You do this on your own risk..

[Blaine0002]

it will be fixed in the next version.

[acorndomains.co]

HJow do i show the some of the "ending soon" auctions without the VBA module?

Or have the Admin view of all auctions available in the front end (less the delete option)

[RedPoint]

Hi all here,

im a freak, i read all posts here an i install this hack, ist run super, thanks to Blaine0002

now i have questions:
- i need restart a finished auction and not implement a new
- i wanna set two or more usergroups (im admin, and i dont subscribe a auction when i logged in as admin :D)
- i need a direct PayPal over API for this hack

Sorry, but my english is not good, i speak just german and romanian language.

[derfelix]

Thanks for pointing that out, ill fix the &copy; issue, and will look into a vbulletin substitute for mysql_insert_id
just seen your reply today :eek:
if you use vbulletin subst. you would have to look in class vB_Database_MySQLi
(to be found in file class_core.php)

but the easiest way would be:
if(function_exists('mysql_insert_id'))
{
mysql_insert_id();
}
else if(function_exists('mysqli_insert_id'))
{
mysqli_insert_id();
}
else
{
print "system error message:xxxxxx";
// because it wont work if the id cannot be inserted..
}

[Blaine0002]

$db->insert_id works.
I have fixed it already.

[lionelng]

I apologise if my question sounds dumb but i just couldn't find anywhere on instructions to add categories, after a almost 1 hour of trying. I've tried searching around but just couldn't find out the steps to add categories into Vbay. Please help. Thanks!

[lionelng]

I had the same problem, but it disapear after I create some categorys.

Hi, glad to see you online. I'm wondering how can i create categories? Thanks!

[Blaine0002]

Go into your admincp, click the vbay drop down and click create category.

[lionelng]

Go into your admincp, click the vbay drop down and click create category.

I've tried but couldn't find anything to click to create category. It didn't show up in my admincp. I hope you're not referring to Vbulletin options as i've tried looking in there too. Did I miss out anything? By the way, i'm using 3.6.8. patch level 1. It's not my first time installing plugins/add-ons by the way.

[lionelng]

Ok. Finally got the problem solved. Thanks alot for the nice mod!

[derfelix]

Just installed... (not in a production environment yet.. ) and I must say.. very nice..

If I may I have a few suggestions to make at first sight..(maybe they have been done before, but i didnt have time to look through all the posts..)

1. obvious todos..
a) WOL locations to avoid outputs like: Unknown Location /babelart/forums/vbay.php?do=myvbay&go=auctions @ 10:42 AM
b) i tried to find a place where i could edit the images.. (replace an image in my auction), but maybe i'm blind :eek:

c) the image thumbnail output is very ugly for images that are portrait (vs. landscape) that are higher than wide.. in this case it would be better to have no width and hight tags at all.. (if you are interested.. i'm just rewriting the upload code for vbgallery.. there are some resizing code snippets that surely could be used...) check your pm.. just sent you a new vbaytn.php using gd2 instead of gd1 and correcting the display probs...

NB: as for the todo of the seller feedback.. why not simply create an interface for the existing itrader add-on.. it is very flexible and has lots of features (display in profile etc.. etc..) and would save ressources..

2. confusing settings
I didnt find anyplace where i could set permissions for viewing the auctions..
example.. registered user.. has to input his streetadress just to view what is for sale????
or a guest user should be able to browse the auctions.. if he sees something interesting he can then register.. (personally I would never register at for example ebay just to be able to see what is for sale)
for the moment.. as a guest i get the message: you must register to access the vbay system... and as a buyer (registered user just looking around) I always get prompted to fill in information that just a seller.. or real buyer should have to fill in.. but i am a simple user.. just wanting to see what is for sale...

3. my wishlist
Phrasing.. phrasing and phrasing..
As i run a multilanguage site... it would be nice if: the vbay site title, the main message, the category titles and the helppart would be phrased the way the vbulltetin integrated customfields are phrased.. (title and description) i.e. when the field is created... the title of the field is inserted as a customphrase with the fieldname. When it is edited in the interface it is called $vbphrase[$fieldname]. But as admin i can also go to phrasemanager and add translations.. so that when a user switches for example to chinese language.. the title of the category will also be in chinese.. or in english if he switches to english.. that would really be coool :p

this is to be taken as ideas for future...
Nevertheless i must say I am very impressed by what has been done in last couple of weeks..

Felix

[Blaine0002]

Thanks for the feedback, ill try to respond to them one by one.
1. i have wol included but its either not working or has been outdated, Thanks for pointing this out though!

I checked your pm as well, thanks a ton!

2. You make some good points and i agree i wouldnt want to sign up for a site i cant see in the first place. Ill also make it check to see if the person has entered in the address when the user either tries to buy, bid, or sell.

3.Im not sure exactly what you mean by title and description. I have most of the words phrased, but i do realize that in the boring job of making them all phrases i have missed a few. Ill get what i see included in the next version, bbut maybe this is not what you are talking about?

[Bergman2]

Thanks for a great hack ! I have installed it on my site and likes it alot.

Is there a way to move products between the categories ?

Best regards from Anders

[Blaine0002]

Right now i have to add a TON of admin control. Ive never been really good with that.

[derfelix]

I checked your pm as well, thanks a ton!

hope it helps.. but as i'm just doing something similar it was easy to get the code snippets together..

3.Im not sure exactly what you mean by title and description. I have most of the words phrased, but i do realize that in the boring job of making them all phrases i have missed a few. Ill get what i see included in the next version, bbut maybe this is not what you are talking about?

No i am not talking about the normal phrases...
Example: categegories... ( i'm preparing an art site.. and would have lets say 2 categories: category 1: title -> Two dimensional art
category 2: title -> Three dimensional art

(off topic: i see in the db you have a field category description.. didnt find where to input AND both fields are text.. I would go down to varchar 100 at least for title, i think its faster)

Ok now lets say my site is in english and chinese... the chinese user will still get to see the title (and probably future description) in english ... because it is not phrased.. (and is difficult to phrase) BUT there is a solution.. and it would be nice to have it..

When in vbulletin you create a custom profile field.. you have the same problem.. title and description being a field and you dont want to create x extra fields because not all users have the same number of languages installed... right?

so what they did.. (at least its similar to that) you save the main title in the database.. like now.. but in parallel it creates a phrase in custom phrases (could be in the vbay phrase group) called for example $vbphrase[$catid_title] AND a second phrase called $vbphrase[$catid_desc]. (the identifier could be: $catid_title = 'vbay_cat_title_'. $cat['catid']; )

Now when creating the cat it also saves (creates) a new phrase called vbay_cat_title_1
when editing the cat.. it creates an extra field for each language so that the admin can enter the translations.. and in the front end templates you do not use anymore $cat['catname'] but instead $vbphrase[$catid_title$cat[catid]]...

how it works can be easely seen in the vbulletin code... create a custom profilefield.. one line input..
give it a title and description.. then go to the phrases in group custom profile fields.. and you will see if the field you created is called field6 you will now have a phrase called field6_title and another one called field6_desc ....

Advantage: if your site is multilanguage.. you dont have important stuff in a language you dont understand.. (imagine main language is chinese and the category names are in chinese even if the rest is phrased..)

Important fields would be in my opinion: categories.. and Vbay Title and Vbay Announcements

I hope you understood what i meen...

Felix

PS1: i'm preparing that system for forum titles and description.. if you want you can have the code bits to adapt.. (but they are not ready yet)

PS2: I would though create a new phrasegroup for the global frontend phrases.. (vbay Global for example) so that they are loaded only on vbay pages.. (i think all the global vbay phrases are loaded on all vbulletin pages for the moment.. even in other addons like gallery and blog)(thinking of saving ressources and memory)

sorry if explanation was a bit long.. but these days i have tendence to talk a lot... looool

[Blaine0002]

No im glad you spent the time typing that up, i think i understand it much more :) thanks!

One last question though
When you create a new phrase group how would you specify for those phrases to only be loaded up in vbay?

[derfelix]

Well I would change 1 line in your product.xml

find: <phrasetype name="GLOBAL" fieldname="global">
replace with:
<phrasetype name="GLOBAL" fieldname="global">
<phrase name="vbay_vbay" date="1190941112" username="Blaine0002" version="1.1.3"><![CDATA[Vbay]]></phrase>
</phrasetype>
<phrasetype name="Vbay Global Phrases" fieldname="vbay_global">

then in vbay.php
find:
$phrasegroups = array('threadmanage', 'posting');
replace with:
$phrasegroups = array('threadmanage', 'posting', 'vbay_global' );
you have to add 'vbay_global' to the phrasegroups array in every php file u use it..
advantage.. the phrases are only loaded on those pages...

NOW reimport product.xml with overwrite!

I added just above the new phrasetype.. the word "vbay" to the Global phrasegroup so that you can add the word "Vbay" in navbar.. that will be the only one loaded on all pages..

hope that helps

Felix

PS: Make sure that when you continue devel. and manually add a phrase to masterlanguage.. you choose the phrasetype: Vbay Global Phrases and not GLOBAL

[Bergman2]

My test users have come up with one more improvment suggestion.

Is there a possibility that the auction owner get a PM when someone have put a bid on his auction ?

Otherwise im really impressed with your work. Im totally sure that this will be one of the best hacks when all problems are solved.

[Blaine0002]

Thanks for the idea, ill include that option in the next ver.

Ideas are always welcome! keep them coming!

[Blaine0002]

next version is going to be mostly an administrative overhaul, added many new features thanks to derfelix :)

I fixed phrases, (I HOPE I HAVE THEM ALL!)
removed contact information,
made vbay viewable to everyone,
added thumbnail cacheing (reduces server load)
Added thumbnail max width or height
administrative limit of uploaded images
added thumbnail blurring or sharpening
Fixed buy it now price and increment bug.
Changed it so you do not need to enter in your address untill you want to buy bid or sell.
Added the option to pm seller when somone bids on item.
Also working on vbay phrase groups and phrased variables.
Fixed WOL's
Added multiple usergroups specified in seller group.

I hope to have this version out as soon as i possibly can :)

[BrettJC]

I am only new to vb and this is the last hack I have installed before making the site live and it is fantastic I will get alot of use out of this.

There is only one thing I noticed with my install that needed a little tweaking and that was my forum install isn't in my sites root dir so I changed the vbay_navbar_edit template to match the dir of my forum.

The problem I am having is that I can only get to vBay from the Home page if i click the vBay navbar item from the Forum, Gallery, UserCP, Member list I get the path i specified in the vbay_navbar_edit template added into the url.

Example:

The URL should be http://www.mysite.com/forum/vbay.php

If I click from any of the pages mentioned above it links to:

http://www.mysite.com/forum/forum/vbay.php

How can I fix this?

[acorndomains.co]

Did anyone find ways to do the following:

Show a list of ending soon auctions
Show a list of recently added auctions
Remove the need to post your address
Allow more than 1 currency
Allow more than 1 payment method
Take a slice of the action by having a percentage of all sales sent to your PayPal account

It's on my site here:
www.acorndomains.co.uk/vbay.php

Many thanks

Anyone? my users dont want to have to go into each category to see whats there

[Blaine0002]

You are using vbadvanced?

[BrettJC]

Never mind, It was very late last night and I wasn't thinking straight, I just turned off the automatic navbar link option and created one manually with the correct link.

Cheers,
Brett

[Bergman2]

Some more feature requests by my users:

- Include a link to the actual auction in the PM:s
- Also some link like "Go back" or vBay header when someone tries to bid on their own auction. Or maybe remove the bid box if it is your own auction.
- When putting a new auction up, the "Description" field maybe be pre-filled with the text "Condition:", "Payment:", "Shipping:" and "Other:". Just to clearify what supposed to be in there
- List the last x auctions on vBay start page and in closed auctions
- Show a thumbnail of the item on the vBay start page and when entering the category

Some new bugs:
- When clicking on a picture thumbnail eventual Flash banners will be placed in front of the picture. My user mentioned something about z-index (dont know what it is) and proposed to open the picture in a pop-up instead. Im attaching a screen dump of it.

Thats all for now ! My users love the hack as it is now. ;)

[Bergman2]

Ohh, i forgot one thing. What happens if the winning bid does not want the item ? Is there a possibility to send all bidders and their bids in the winning PM to the seller ?

[micheal332001]

Hi there Blaine0002

Take alook at the timer on my new lottery system here
List Lotterys (http://www.michealmilton.com/forums/mmvblotto.php?do=viewlotterys)as you will see its counting down in real time

From the date the lottery will end from the date it is now.
Its all java and will update the links automaticly when the date runs out.

If you would like to know more about this Blaine0002 i am more than happy to help you out with it.

[Blaine0002]

Ohh, i forgot one thing. What happens if the winning bid does not want the item ? Is there a possibility to send all bidders and their bids in the winning PM to the seller ?

Bidding is a contract between the buyer and the seller, if you bid on an auction and win you are required to buy it.

[towermatt]

Yep, I would not allow that kind of thing except in EXTREME emergencies.

[Blaine0002]

Next version should be out tonight.

Its pretty sweet :D

[towermatt]

Can't wait Blaine <dancing banana>

[Blaine0002]

updated, hopefully nothing goes wrong but you know how that goes :)

[DieselMinded]

Blaine i upgraded and reverted templates ect... started a test auction and the images are not showing up , also once i posted the auction it didnt return me to my auction it just showed a blank auction also there is no My Auctions in my vbay

http://www.dieselbombers.com/vbay.php?

[Blaine0002]

dosent look like you reverted templates to me o.o

[Blaine0002]

i made a test auction, you can delete it. it DID take me to a blank auction but the images were posted.

[DieselMinded]

After post an auction this is the page it goes to

http://www.dieselbombers.com/vbay.php?do=item&viewitem=

I used a smaller image and it worked My first test the images must of been to big or wrong format , Insted of it just not posting your photos Can you have it return a file too large/wrong file type message and allow them to rectify the situation

[DieselMinded]

i made a test auction, you can delete it. it DID take me to a blank auction but the images were posted.

Blaine please chek your My Bomb Bay for Your Autions >...Its not there is it ?

[Blaine0002]

[DieselMinded]

vbay_myvbay:

This template has not been customized in this style or any of its parent styles.

Double-click the template name or click the 'Customize' button to add a customized version of this template to the current style and its child sets.

[DieselMinded]

OK that did it ,,,

What can i do to fix it where when you post an aution it shows your auction ?

[TheBlackPoet]

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /vbay.php on line 238

i had gotten this error...... and was about to post it, but then i thought.. i had'nt yet added a category... so i did... and bam..... it's all good baby!!!!

im posting this so in case someone else might want to rush to show a problem when there isnt one....

excellent work !!!!

[BrettJC]

Thanks for the Updates Mate,

I installed fine during testing everything works ok but when clicking Submit at the end of adding an item I get the following page is this correct?

I think previously it took you to the item you added?

When clicking on the category they all appear ok though.

[BrettJC]

Also how do you modify the Buy It Now date at the moment I see January 1st, 1970.

[acorndomains.co]

Is it likely to change again soon? or is this going to be the released version for a while?

I want to do some major mods but only on a current version.

[Wild Bronco]

I can still not translate all phrases.

PM sent and Emails

And maby others..

[NukeOZ]

You need to put yourself into that usergroup :)
BTW if anyone wants to donate pm me with an ammount and email addy and ill send you an invoice

First of all I did everything as per instructions.
I have set up a group called sellers too.
I started a test Sell, this is working fine.
Now when I go back into Vbay and click on SELL again I get this message.

Sorry, you need to be a seller to be able to sell anything! Click HERE to request a sellers account. Thank you.

I am a Super Admin and I have made myself a member of the sellers group.
Its seems that what ever i try I just cant sell another item.
This problem is the same for all members.
I feel that I have missed something..:(

www.fdgamers.net.au (http://www.fdgamers.net.au)

Regards NukeOz.

Note: You have made a great add on..:)

EDIT: I guess a simple answer would be delete and reload unless you have any other Ideas..?

Thank you for your time..

[Blaine0002]

Hmm, could be a fluke although those dont exist in programming :0

What did you enter into your allowed seller usergroups???

[NukeOZ]

Hmm, could be a fluke although those dont exist in programming :0

What did you enter into your allowed seller usergroups???

My allowed seller groups are 20,6,7,
20 = sellers
6 = super admins
7 = V.I.P

[KHALIK]

It paypal supported? once a bid is won - can payment be made via paypal on site via vbay

[Blaine0002]

currently do NOT have the paypal api integrated, users need to manage payment at the moment,

@ nuke try making 20,6,7, into 20,6,7

[RedPoint]

Hi,

1. problem with the description of the auctions.
When i make a new auction the script cut the description, but when I edit the auction is the completly description ok.

2. I wanna do that the shipping is Zero, but the script dont accept this, how can make it that accept Zero or nothing (empty)

What its wrong in my Modul?

Thanks

This is happening to me with the upgrade as well, everyone that used to be able to sell can no longer do it, including myself. I am the owner :)

I have the groups set up correctly and they haven't changed since the last version

[Yukino_AE]

It would be nice to see in future releases the ability for Sub Categories! ^_^ as well as the ability to organize categories once they have been created. as well as category icons for categories.

and deffinately looking forward to having paypal integration and trader ratings. as well as maybe an option for users to trade items?

[Yukino_AE]

i'm having issues with this module. once i create a test item in a category and click on the category it redirects me to the main page of my forum

[Jimandbob]

After reading all this thread and listening to what Blaine says.... We have set this hack live tonight....There are one or two small bugs but it is working great for us and I am more than confident that when He releases this as a final release...It will be one of the best add ons ever released.....(no disrespect meant to any other coders)

Great work Blaine :up: and Thank You

[Cigarcritic]

I have shipping at $4.60 but vBay reports it as "$4"

[Booost This]

Ok well I just installed v1.1.6 on my forum (v.3.6.8).

I did a search before posting this and came up with nothing.

EDIT**Maybe I am a complete newb here but I cannot seem to figure out how to add a category? I checked in my admincp under the vbay settings. Nothing there, someone willing to help me out?

I figured it out, solution:

For those of you having the same problem, log out of your AdminCP, clear your cookies and log back in. This should bring up the dropdown menu that I failed to see before.

Also I am getting a


Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /vbay.php on line 238

only on my "Sell" portion of the page, but from what I found during my search this is related to me not having any categories. Correct?

Lastly, how do I go about changing the vbay title that shows up under the forum tree? (forumtitle >vbay> browsing categories)

I want to change the vbay to the title of my marketplace.

Any help would be appreciated. Great hack thus far, I just hope I can get it to work 100%

Add a category via the admincp.

As for the phrases, i must not have added the bitfields to phrases. next version!

@redpoint thats pretty odd, ill look into it. Go into your admincp and hit vbulletin options and verify your ywsiwyg options.

[towermatt]

Any word on the sellers thing? Nobody can sell on mine after the upgrade.

I'm pretty sure the settings are correct.

i replied. read my posts.

[tillcat5]

is this something i can put in one specific forum of my site or will it have to be in all of them?

[kiennt718]

If someone place an invalid/bad bid, how can we edit the auction?

[exstatic]

This mod is fantastic.. well done!

Just a quick one, is there any way to show the list of most recently posted auction items on the home page where you have the welcome note?

Im also looking to modify the default options that the user needs to fill out when submitting an auction, where would I do that?

Cheers
ex

[towermatt]

is this something i can put in one specific forum of my site or will it have to be in all of them?

It has its own page so its not a forum thing at all.

[ShinobiDJ]

Where i can set the Categories ??? In my ACP i find nothing to set

[exstatic]

Where i can set the Categories ??? In my ACP i find nothing to set

Shinobi,

In admincp, there will be a Vbay menu.. most likely up the top.. you can add categories there.

If its not there, right click in the frame where your menu's are and refresh..

[tillcat5]

It has its own page so its not a forum thing at all.

thanks i cant wait to try it..

[Blaine0002]

Next version will have phrases fixed, for everyone thats having an issue not being able to post auctions even though you are in the usergroup, make sure you have reverted all your vbay templates! (to do this go into your admincp, expand the styles and templates category, and click find updated styles, everything with the prefix vbay_ should be reverted!)

[Blaine0002]

Domestic on (vbay.php?do=postpreview)


This has already been added o.o Check through again, it should be called vbay_preview_domestic_shipping

Redirect bug, when you create an auction you will now be redirected to the auction you created.

New features.
Started adding hook system, currently the only hook is vbay_init which is executed on each vbay pageload.

Upgrade instructions:
Upload all files, import new product xml file
REVERT TEMPLATES

have fun!

[Skitty]

I also have the description only partially being posted, must edit after the auction has been posted to correct it.

After todays upgrade, no notifications are being sent, and no record of who bought the item :(

[DarthRevo]

thanks for the updates, is there a way we can be able to edit the prices or end the auction early ourselves?

[Blaine0002]

You seem to have missed on of the steps in upgrading
check and redo the following
1. reupload all files contained in the upload folder, maintain directory structure, overwrite all files
2. import the new xml file via admincp, check to overwrite previous installation.
3. revert all templates (this is the main cause of many problems). In the admincp expand the styles and templates menu, and click find updated templates. click revert for all templates with a prefix of vbay_

If you are still having problems post and ill see what i can do.

[Skitty]

Hello Blaine, I tried to revert the vbay templates, but none of them show any customization and the "revert" button is shaded out/inactive. Do I still need to revert those templates ? If so, how would I attempt that with the "revert" button not being clickable ?
Thanks ! :)

[Blaine0002]

are you lookng at the templates in the 'find updated templates' page or in the vbay category of the templates page?

[Skitty]

are you lookng at the templates in the 'find updated templates' page or in the vbay category of the templates page?

Hi, I checked first in the Vbay category, then after seeing this (above) post of yours I checked the "updated templates" option and that doesn't show any vbay templates either :confused: the only updated templates that show are "MEMBERINFO"

[Blaine0002]

ok thats fine then, have you made sure you imported the newest xml and updated all the files?

if so check for a phrase named vbay_pm_i_bid
tell me if it exists

[Skitty]

I just searched in phrases for vbay_pm_i_bid and found it, in Global phrases ?

[Skitty]

p.s., I tested the upgrade using Opera, if that makes any difference. Also, yeppers on the updated xml, new version uploaded over the old one, product manager shows updated 1.1.7 file.

[Blaine0002]

it shouldnt, you say you arent recieving pms when auctions close am i correct?

[Skitty]

Test auctions (buy it now) yesterday on the 1.1.6 version generated the automatic pm. We only ran one test auction today after the upgrade to 1.1.7 and there was no pm sent to either party. I'll check it again in a bit but the one auction we ran had no notification and when the item was purchased, the auction closed without any record of who purchased it.

[Skitty]

Okeedokee, I just ran another test auction, buy it now, if the notification pm doesnt show up in ten minutes I'll let you know.

edit :

Buy it now auctions without a bidding option end without showing any record of the winner.

Buy it now auctions with the bidding option will leave a record of winner when there was an initial bid placed before the buy it now option was used.

[Skitty]

No pm's on any of them.

[Blaine0002]

and by record of the winner you mean the high bidder?

[Skitty]

Yes, the completed auction page says "auction completed" (from memory, I may be a word or two off) but does not show who purchased the item. I do have the options set that high bidders are visible.

[Skitty]

Maybe I should try a fresh install ?

[Blaine0002]

that mightbe an option if you have nothing to use (like a test site or something)

First tell me what versions of php or mysql you are running.
Are you running VB 3.6.8?

[Liquid1ce]

thnx for update :)

[zooki]

Hi, and can we (the website) make money from the Vbay transactions??? Or is it just buy/sell auction without any percentage coming to us?

Let me know how this could be used to make little bit of profit for the website that it is on. Because I need something to pay for my server costs!

[towermatt]

I'm running mine free, I figure if it ever really takes off and people are using it like crazy...maybe start charging a fee then.

For now, the transaction between buyer and seller is conducted outside the vbay platform so I suppose you could simply tell people what the percentage was and try to collect it.

You may also consider a "membership fee" type thing where you only give access for people to sell on it if they give you a monthly bit.

Just suggestions though, hope that helps.

[britt]

Looking forward to adding this to my website. :D

Just a quick question (not sure if this was asked already) does VBay work with vBadvanced?

[Blaine0002]

there is an addon for vbadvanced.

Pm bug is now confirmed and ill get a fix in asap.

[micheal332001]

Hi there blaine0002

I have just sent you a email about the timer changes i said about.
I have finished programming it and all is working great let me know how to send the new files to you.

[Blaine0002]

Hmm contact me via msn,,

i dont check my hotmail email :)

[edytwinky]

If you just set something with a Buy It Now, do you have to put an end time?

And if you have more than one of the same item you want to sell, do you have to post twice or can you list it as more than one item in the same post?

[forumrunt]

any ETA on charging a % of selling price?

[Megatr0n]

When is premium version being released?

[DieselMinded]

Pm Bug Fixed ?

[Blaine0002]

If you just set something with a Buy It Now, do you have to put an end time?

And if you have more than one of the same item you want to sell, do you have to post twice or can you list it as more than one item in the same post?

Great suggestion!

Im still working on fixing pm bug.

[Wild Bronco]

There are still phrases who I can not translate. :D


In XML This lines must be translateble...

This phrases are seen under: myvbay, my auctions

Line 355 type='radio' value='buyitnow'
Line 356 type='radio' value='both'
Line 359 type='radio' value='Domestic'

This phrase is seen in all items..

I dont want the buy it now onlys to stay in the system , people wont update when sold ect... i like that it times out

[powerful_rogue]

Hi,

probably a really stupid question, but what templates do I need to revert when upgrading?

[Blaine0002]

Everything that you have edited in the past that has the prefix vbay_

[powerful_rogue]

Everything that you have edited in the past that has the prefix vbay_

Ive never made any template edits in the past. Just uploaded the files and installed the xml file :confused:

[pds]

I just installed 1.1.7 and have the "increments of a dollar" issue. I didn't have this with 1.1.6 on my dev site.

Is there something I missed on the install, or should I delete and go back to 1.1.6.

(note: started with 1.1.7 on my live site, so it was a freshinstall.)

[Blaine0002]

what issue are you having exactly?
Can you describe it?

[powerful_rogue]

Ive gone into the acp and located all the vbay templates, however its not giving me the option to revert them.

Ive had to uninstall completely and then install again.

[powerful_rogue]

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /vbay.php on line 239

Seem to be getting this error at the top of the vbay.php page when I click on "sell"

you need to create a category via your admincp

[edytwinky]

So I finally installed the mod. Looks great! I tried to add a test auction and filled every single step in. But when I got to step 3 it said:

"Make sure you have filled in all fields!"

Yet I didn't see an empty field. Any idea what I may have done wrong?

Also, i'm getting an error when the page loads up and I'm having a problem using my bbcode boxes.

[Blaine0002]

Yeah that bug got reported yesterday

as for the field bug,
what are you doing? bid buy it now or both, and what shipping? domestic or worldwide? ill try to recreate your error.

[edytwinky]

I did a bid, then a both. As for shipping I did domestic. But the thing is, I put a zero in for shipping.

On my bbcode box, i'm unable to change the font type or the font size. The drop down list will not come down.

[Blaine0002]

gah... i dunno why but php recognises '0' as '' :P thanks for reporting this, ill fix it :P

[edytwinky]

Thanks Blaine.

Any idea about the bbcode box not allowing me to change font size or type?

[Blaine0002]

There are still phrases who I can not translate. :D


In XML This lines must be translateble...

This phrases are seen under: myvbay, my auctions
Line 354 type='radio' value='bid'
Line 355 type='radio' value='buyitnow'
Line 356 type='radio' value='both'
Line 359 type='radio' value='Domestic'
Line 360 type='radio' value='Worldwide'

This phrase is seen in all items..
Line 981 Time Left

:up: Thank you

Those are not needed to be translated as they are being enteredinto the database and will not be seen by users.

[Wild Bronco]

Those are not needed to be translated as they are being enteredinto the database and will not be seen by users.

I needed to translate them in my vbay... :confused:

But I had to enter an item for sale first for them to be seen!

Maby the php text that calls the translated text phrase is missing?

You can see how this shows up on the photos.
I was experimenting a bit with the lines you can see how it prints direclty from the database what the lines say.

Hiya,

Couple of small things:

Unless you fill out every section in the address - It wont let you buy or bid on anything. It dosent pop up with an error message, it just keeps re-directing to the edit address page.
Would there be anyway of removing "State / Province:" as this dosent apply in the UK.

Once yove purchased an item using "Buy It Now" - the item vanishes and theres no record of it under "My Vbay". Would it be possible to create a section "Listings Ive Won" with all auctions and Buy It Now's being shown there? It also dosent show under "Closed Auctions"

The other point was the PM for the winning buyer, however ive seen your working on that :)

In a future version, would it be possible to add a "Wanted" section? An area where people can list items their looking for and how much their willing to pay. Maybe it could have a comment section underneath the listing where people can reply.
Hopefully many people would find the above useful as well ;)

Currently, the winning buyer doesn't receive a PM?

<span style="text-decoration: line-through">This is probably a very stupid question, but I can't figure out how to add/modify Categories. As a result, nothing shows up when I submit auctions, unless I go into the "My vBay" link and manually find it.</span>

Edit: logging out of Admincp and deleting cookies fixes this, and opens up a vBay drop down menu.

I also put up a test auction, and completed it via BIN with no PM to the winner. Two people bid on it, and when one was outbid, there was a PM sent.

Also, how do you change the "vBay" text in the tool bar?

Yeah that phrase bug is known

as for vbay text, everything is located in phrases with the prefix vbay_

[gpugliese]

Pardon my ignorance, but which .php file is that located in?

Also, BIN seems to be acting up. Had a user setup an auction, 110 opening price, reserve of 200, BIN for 300. I hit BIN, and completed the auction. Got a PM later saying the auction did not meet the reserve, however, the auction is filed under "Closed"

[Blaine0002]

yeah the php file closeauctions is bugged ATM, im working on fixing it.

As for phrases, they are located in your admincp under the language and phrases dropdown.

[gpugliese]

Cool, figured that out.

How about the pre-existing PM's that are sent when bidding or winning an auction? Is there away to include the name of the auction?

Also, bidding over the Buy it Now price doesn't end the auction, however, after bidding over, BIN is still available and doing that will end it properly at the BIN price.

[Blaine0002]

yeah thats part of the bugged closeauctions.

[Chance4Today]

OK you say install as usual ummm some of us are computer silly. For myself I need directions is there a text to go with it for install? :)

[NAG]

excellent!!.. i tried using phpauction for this but believe it or not i got injection hacked so that was deleted..

[NAG]

i am getting this error when clicking on sell..

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /vbay.php on line 239

ooops!!.. i forget to add cats, D!OH is ok now

[Spinball]

Have you got any example sites?
And you might want to look at integrating iTrader for trader ratings.

[edytwinky]

Blaine, not sure if you saw it. But do you know why my bbcode box errors are coming up? The drop down box for my font type and size aren't working.

[Slingblade61]

All is well except for the BIN pm thing. I think I'm going to wait until that gets fixed before I roll it out on my forum.

[fishhub]

Have been following this mod. Its Great with such good updates! Could u pls make it for 3.5.x as well.:o:)

[Blaine0002]

i am not planning to support older versions of vbulletin :( sorry.

[Slingblade61]

I also found that when an auction ends, I receive no notice of any kind.

I had a few test auctions and I never found out who won it unless I looked at the site.

What is the purpose of the shipping info??
It never comes into play except on the sign up.

[Blaine0002]

it is supposed to be pmed to the recipiant, im working on it.

[powerful_rogue]

Hi Blaine,

I know your busy sorting out the fixes at the moment, but would it be possible to think about adding a "Wanted" part to the mod?

Auction
Buy It Now
Wanted

Item Name/ Item Description/Item Picture/ Payment Method

Then maybe a section underneath where the person with the item can add a description/picture/how much they want and postage.
You could have a button availble next to each persons reply called "Buy". when clicked by the original asking person it automatically puts it into a BIN auction and closes it with the requesting person being the winning buyer. At the same time it will also close the "Wanted" ad.

[Blaine0002]

at the moment im just trying to get the current bug fixes out

[powerful_rogue]

Hi Blaine,

Totally understand. Was just a suggestion for the future :)

All the best

[Blaine0002]

Thanks for supporting my work :)

[dapoling]

Blaine is there away to not require members to belong to the Vbay Seller Usergroup and just have access?
I feel there are a number of people that just do not want to go through the hassle of joining a group to see what is for sale.

Thanks, Dave

I have found a work around to create a promotion and have all the members added after 1 day to an additional user group.

It would be nice to be able just to add more then one user group to the list.

[towermatt]

As far as I know, everyone can browse Vbay

Only sellers need to be in the Sellers group

[dapoling]

From what I have seen it will not let you get into with out being subscribed to the group.
I added a test login and was not able to view.
But I have been wrong before.

[Yukino_AE]

this mod is great. i will love to actually use it when it gets paypal support

[Hengest]

Is there a way to change the default increment amount? I have had a couple of people forget to change it from zero and the price never goes up no matter how many people bid! :D

[protoolers]

Hi, i've 2 question:

1. Is PPAL supported?
2. Can Vbay on my forum take a little percentual on Sales?

thanks for support :)

I installed 1.1.6 on my development forum and things seemed to go well. PM's were sent out, auctions were archived, etc.

When I went to install on my live forum, 1.1.7 had been released, so I installed that instead. Oddly enough, no PM's are getting sent for bids or auction ending. Also, once an auction is over, the only way to see the results is to go into the DB table in MySQL.

Any thoughts on what I could have done wrong?

[towermatt]

I think the PM thing is a bug in the newest version--that may have something to do with the rest.

I am waiting to upgrade until its fixed.

Thanks. I should have done the same thing.

[edytwinky]

Any reason why my bbcode box isn't working with the font or font size boxes? They won't drop down.

[R1lover]

Found it...

I have been waiting for the bugs to be gone before attempting to over ride the earlier version I have 'turned off' but if it's not compatible with 3.6.4 then what?

[Blaine0002]

Upgrade your forum software imo :D

[chick]

LOL I have upgrade the forums and cmps just not the vbay yet. A post above says it not compatible with the lastest vb, so should I still try to upgrade vbay?

[Blaine0002]

its compatable, id hold off upgrading though as theres a bug with the sending of PM's

[chick]

OK, I will hold off until someones posts it's fixed. Thank you.
